This ascent isn't for everyone. You need grit to climb this high this often. You've got to be an underdog that always over-delivers. You've got to be 6,500 hospital staff, 1,000 doctors, all doing so much with so little. You've got to be Scarborough. Defined by our uphill battle and always striving towards new heights. And you can help us keep climbing.

Blue Jays fans are raising questions about tickets disappearing in a flash, only to pop back up with an inflated price tag.

When Blue Jays tickets went on sale, long-time fan Greg Overman's was ready. 40 minutes later, it was his turn to pick, but everything was already gone. My question is, who got tickets? To think that people from who knows where bought them these tickets and just jacked them up beatily, it's just so disheartening.

We've come to accept it as a norm right now, and I think people are starting to push back. Ontario Premier Doug Ford says having one major player in the ticket market is not right.

In the U.S., the Department of Justice recently sued Ticketmaster and its parent company alleging illegal resale tactics. Any potential changes will come too late for fans like Overmans, though.

And Pollyev is defending comments he made about the RCMP taught brass, even as some Tory MPs say they have doubts about his leadership. Last week on a podcast, Paulief accused the Mounties of covering up liberal scandals and called the RCMP's leadership, quote, despicable. I was asked about the scandals of the last 10 years of the liberal government.

And what would I do if such scandals are, and corruption were to happen when I become prime minister. And I said I would have zero tolerance for corruption. Nobody is above the law. Five conservative MPs told Radio Canada that the remarks had them questioning whether they continue to back Pahliev. They say he does not sound prime ministerial
